Haskins made his NFL regular season debut on Sunday, stepping in during the second quarter of the early-season matchup. Getting picked off by a former Michigan star isn’t exactly how he planned for his first outing to go.
Haskins finished the day completing 9-of-17 passes for 107 yards and three interceptions. Peppers had six total tackles, two pass break-ups and the pick-six.
New York ended up winning the contest 24-3. The Giants improved to 2-2 on the year with the Redskins falling to 0-4.
